  • CM Labs Crawler Crane Simulator

The Crawler Crane Simulator Training Pack is part of CM Labs’ catalog of construction equipment training packs. From basic controls and crane positioning to hook and load management, operators who train on Vortex simulators develop the aptitude, skills, and worksite awareness they need to master safe and efficient crawler crane operations.

With the Crawler Crane Training Pack, trainees gain valuable experience with lift planning and operations — in a safe environment without incurring the expenses of operating a real crawler crane. It is also ideal for experienced operators looking to expand their skills from smaller lifting equipment to larger cranes.

  • CM Labs Backhoe Loader Simulator

The Vortex® Backhoe Training Pack is the only training solution capable of simulating a backhoe’s backlash and instability. Thanks to this capability, it is ideal for teaching novices how to leverage the flexibility of this machine and control its center of gravity for efficiency on the job site.

Key features & benefits

With the Backhoe Training Pack, trainees learn the requirement for careful, methodical operations, thanks to the looseness in the machine’s linkage that replicates that of the real backhoe.

The training pack also simulates changes in stability and traction as tires are placed under stress by rapid movements or heavy loads — and the simulated backhoe can even tip as a result of instability. This means trainees can feel free to fail without the risk of damaging equipment or themselves.
